Imagine that, a talented woman who had an amazing career yet stayed committed to her marriage (to a difficult man) and devoted to her family.

One night about 45 years ago I slept in Loretta’s livingroom at her Hawaii beach house.

No, not invited. She wasn’t even there. It was under construction, so I drove my truck under the just-built deck, climbed from my roof onto the deck. and rolled out my sleeping bag.

She was a good conservative and a real American.

Sadly, you cannot read even an obit these days without it being focused on feminism. What a strong woman she was! Did she stay married? Was she preceded in death by her husband? No. She was a woman who wouldn’t take no guff from men. That was more important than her wonderful songs apparently.

RIP

Folks stopped at her childhood home- very small. The caretaker was very pleasant and Informative. Neat little photo worthy Appalachian type home.

Olivia Newton-John last month; Loretta Lynn this month. We are losing all the great female singers!

Who’s gonna fill their shoes?
Who’s gonna stand that tall?
Who’s gonna play the Opry
And the Wabash Cannonball?
Who’s gonna give their heart and soul
To get to me and you?
Lord, I wonder who’s gonna fill their shoes?

She was a true feminist! Not in the model of “all men are bad and need to die”, but in the “you are going to treat me like a human and equal” model!

Loved her music, loved her attitude! I visited her home once when she was home. She actually let about twelve of us standing at her fence come in and talk for about 40 minutes.

AMAZING LADY! She KNEW what “hard times” meant! Down to earth and personable!

In 1975, as the national debate over women’s liberation continued to roil, Lynn incited comment with her song “The Pill.” The tune, which reached No. 5 on the country chart, was, in her words, “about how the man keeps the woman barefoot and pregnant over the years.” It was one of the best examples of the no-nonsense spunk of her songwriting.

WTH?
